PayUMoney: An Indian Gateway for Indian Non-Profits

PayPal is a great option for non-profits in the US, Europe, Australia and other countries, but ever since launching Charitable we have been keenly aware that it is not suitable in many other parts of the world.

With Charitable PayUMoney, we are empowering Indian non-profits with a rock-solid WordPress donation plugin. Once you sign up as a PayUMoney merchant, you are ready to begin accepting donations in Indian Rupees from your local supporters.

Charitable PayUMoney is available to purchase on its own, or you can purchase either of the Charitable Plus or Charitable Pro packages, which offers great savings for non-profits who need some of our other extensions.

Not in India and still looking for a gateway that suits you? We would love to hear from you. Leave us a comment below or get in touch via our Support form.

        We have an orphanage in Chennai, infrastructure totally destroyed by the Vardah cyclone. I need to raise funds. We have 38 children in our care.
        How could I set up a donation page.

    […] We focused on peer to peer fundraising. We expanded our payment gateway support (here, here and here). We started selling our Plus and Pro packages as Pay What You Want […]

      PayUMoney is primarily geared towards donations within India, and it only supports Indian Rupee.

    I have two queries
    1) Does your PG offer special rates/concessions for NGOs
    2) Do you accept payments from PayTm wallet ?
